Memaw misses you so much and I’m glad that you were part of our family and knowing that you were so much loved and cared by your parents. Thank you for giving me so much fun when I took care of you and your brothers last April while your parents were away. Happy journey to the Donkeys’ Heaven!

I’m just so sorry to hear this sad news. Thinking of you all at MBF. Fergus will be missed by all his friends, two and four leggeds alike, and by his internet “fans” from far away. Thanks for sharing him with us all, we’ve been blessed to know Fergus from afar.

This is so heartbreaking. Those of us who are “keepers of the animals” here on Earth get to experience the amazing joy they bring to our lives. Sadly, we also experience deep losses along the way. I am so so sorry for your loss. Sending you a big donkey hug from me and my boys.

Justina and Don, I’m so very sorry for your loss. I wish I could be there to hug you both. It’s so horrible to lose any animal, especially one that is so much a part of your daily life. I hope the other boys will be okay with their loss. Donkeys are such gentle souls.

I am so sorry to hear this. I know you all brought such joy to his life while he was with you and he brought joy to you all. He is one of the burros who Keeping everyone at Morning Bray in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry. I share your feelings. I have recently lost a special friend and companion of 14 years. Take comfort in knowing you gave him love and affection and wonderful care. He will always be a smile in your heart when you remember him. God bless.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have been following this blog from its inception and have always admired how much you love and care for your animals. Fergus had a short life, but with you, he had an incredible life. Thank you for sharing his life with us. He will be greatly missed.

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend Fergus. I understand the feelings that goes with it. I have been there. My thoughts are with you and your family. It is wonderful Fergus had such a loving family. I know he will be missed every day.

Lots of hugs and sweet prayers to you all. I bet you have LOTS of FUN memories that you can always keep in your hearts. You did a WONDERFUL job of making his life the best it could be for a donkey. Have peace of heart….God Bless

So sad news today… I have no words Justina. Fergus is not longer with the other boys, I cant´t believe. I will miss him in your posts.
My thoughts are with you, Don and all the animals on Morning Bray Farm.

Oh, Justina and Don! I am so sorry. I agree with what everyone else has said….how lucky Fergus was to be a part of your family, even if for a short time. I know he will be missed deeply, but hold on to all the happy memories of that sweet boy and hug your other kids a bit tighter in his honor.

I am so sorry for your loss, yet I am so happy that Fergus got to spend this time at MBF. I asked Carson to give ALL of you hugs when she sees you, so, until then, please accept a virtual hug from this humble blogger. ((((( )))))
God bless you for the love you show these wonderful creatures 🙂

I am sorry I never met Fergus, but my heart goes out to you. I know the strange combined pain of loss and gratitude. It is so very sad to lose a beloved animal, yet we are so grateful to have shared time with that gentle being. My thoughts are with you.

Justina, I’m so very sorry to learn of this horribly sad news. I’m in shock and can only imagine how you and Don must be coping. I feel honoured that I had the opportunity to meet Fergus and my visit to Morningbray Farm is among my most treasured experiences. I’m going to go have a cry now.

I know the intimate heartbreak of losing an animal friend that you love dearly. Find comfort knowing that Fergus is really still with you. His spirit lives on with you, only his body is gone now. Hugs & Love to all of you at Morning Bray.

What a terrible shock for you to suddenly lose your lovely young boy Fergus. I’ve been visiting your MBF Blog from the beginning and well remember the day he chose you good people to spend the rest of his life with. What a clever boy he was even then ! So sorry that it turned out to be such a short time that you got to spend together.

My deepest condolences to both of you, and to his Burro brother Nigel and other Donkey friends. He’ll be waiting for all of you at The Rainbow Bridge. <>

Justina & Don – My heart aches for you and I am so sorry about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Fergus had a wonderful, happy and joyful life with you. Take comfort in the happiness he brought to you and that you brought to him. Much love to all of you.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

I am so so so sorry and sad to read this post. He was taken from you so soon, so young. We lost a burro for unknown reasons – one day healthy, then gone. No temp, no reduced appetite, no nothing, just a runny nose. It still haunts me years later. It’s just wrong to lose them when they are young, isn’t it? Hang in there. You guys take great care of your burros. His short life was blessed.

Justina & Don,
I am so very sorry about Fergus… When Deb let me know I was heartbroken for you both. As I am sure alot of people are. I’ve noticed other mention the “Rainbow bridge” and I truly believe that is where he has gone… To run in the great beyond with no cares, just beautiful friends of all kinds to play with.

Just last night I was with my sister & one of her “fuzzies” Jazmin who was passing and told her that she needed to go because among many others, she had a great sweet new friend named Fergus waiting to meet her.
Thank you Fergus for once again being there when someone needed that sweet innocent energy to come too.
We will miss you but know we will meet again.
Sherry, Don & all our fuzzies

Sorry for your loss…I just lost a rescued senior dog myself…emotionally beat up right now like I imagine you are. The risk of pain is what we take on when we love these wonderful creatures………They give us so much…the love, the happy contented looks of a happy home found. Logic tells us we gave them a wonderful home for their last months….but logic doesn’t cover this.. our heart still hurts for awhile. May your memories give you smiles and your heart eventually blossom open to love the next one.

Oh no!! Dear Justina and Don,
Poor Fergus, he was so young!!
I’m so very very sorry for your deep loss….
I know that the pain of this loss is escruciating and you and Don are heartbroken and devastated…

You really did a beautiful homage to your dear and adorable friend Fergus.

Sending you and Don and to the family of Morning Bray Farm my heartfelt condolences.
I’m close to you both in this sad moment.
Love,
Sonia.
